Physics Department

To investigate the fundamental laws of nature.

Established in 1967, the department has established itself into a centre of learning and research. It formed the core foundation for the Institute of Physics (IoP), Bhubaneswar, and played a pivotal role in establishing the Orissa Physical Society. It also ushered in the computer age in the state by hosting one of the first IBM 1130 computers gifted by the UGC. Our alumni are occupying faculty positions and research staff positions in many prestigious universities, colleges and research institutes in the country as well as abroad. Some of them have own awards like Bhatanagar award and Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences.
